She believed that no man could resist the advances of a top beauty, especially in such a private setting.

She slowly walked up to Qin Luo, and under his deep gaze, with a sacrificial gesture, she slowly bent her knees and knelt on the thick carpeted floor.

She tilted her head back, her face a mixture of allure and pleading, and reached out her slightly trembling hand, her fingertips gently hooking the edge of the bath towel around Qin Luo's waist...

The sun was high in the sky, and the dazzling sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

Yun Jia felt as if she had been repeatedly run over by a heavy truck; every bone in her body was screaming in pain. She struggled to open her heavy eyelids.

She stared blankly at the luxurious crystal chandelier above her head. After several seconds, the crazy memories of last night flooded into her mind like a tidal wave.

She struggled to sit up, the silky thin blanket slipped off, revealing skin covered with ambiguous marks.

Her gaze swept over the messy bed and expensive carpet, and her face instantly turned bright red. Several black stockings, violently torn to shreds, were scattered around!
She couldn't even remember how many pairs she'd changed last night... That man seemed to have an almost obsessive "interest" and a destructive urge in black stockings...

Despite the extreme discomfort in her body, Yun Jia staggered out of bed and found her scattered clothes.

She silently picked up the torn black stockings, carefully folded them, and stuffed them into her LV handbag.

Perhaps this is the only proof of her "efforts" last night?

She put on the slightly wrinkled black evening gown and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Through the glass, one could see Qin Luo swimming in the azure pool below, cutting through the waves like a nimble fish, his movements fluid and powerful.

Yun Jia looked at that figure with a complicated expression.

She wanted to go downstairs and say something, perhaps to try and win him back? But the words Qin Luo had said before she lost consciousness last night echoed clearly in her ears.

"Your account will be blocked as usual. Not suing you is our last act of mercy."

Cold, resolute, and leaving no room for negotiation.

He is not a saint, nor is he a hothead who would be easily swayed by beauty.

Sacrifice? In his eyes, it might just be a transaction, or even just a way to vent.

Her "sacrifice" only saved her from imprisonment, but it did nothing to shake his established decision.

Yun Jia finally gave a bitter smile, lacking the courage to face those deep and indifferent eyes again.

She picked up her handbag, took one last look at the man in the pool who had controlled her destiny, and quietly left the luxurious cage that had once filled her with dreams but now only brought her exhaustion and despair.

Qin Luo climbed out of the pool, glistening water droplets sliding down his sharply defined muscles.

He walked to the shower room next door, turned on the shower, and let the warm water wash away the pool water and the lingering scent of last night.

After changing into clean pajamas, he picked up his phone and dialed Situ Rui's number.

"Ruizi, help me find someone, Wei Junwu. Be quick."

Qin Luo's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable chill.

Yun Jia was merely a pawn pushed out; the real culprit was Wei Junwu, hiding behind the scenes! If someone dared to attack him once, they would inevitably do it again.

Qin Luo would not leave any hidden dangers for himself.

"Understood, boss! Leave it to me!"

Situ Rui answered crisply and decisively.

At noon, Qin Luo was the only person in the huge mansion, making it seem rather deserted.

He had intended to invite Liu Piaopiao to dinner, so he made the phone call.

"Hey? Piaopiao, are you free to have lunch together?"

"Qin Luo? I'm really busy right now!"

Liu Piaopiao's voice was filled with exhaustion and a hint of hoarseness.

"The caseload is overwhelming lately! Wei Junshu's case is still unsolved, and another one happened last night, with almost the exact same method! It's another rich kid, strangled to death! They've already combined the cases! Captain Ai and I have practically turned Fujian upside down, but we haven't found a single clue! We're still at the station poring over case files! I have to go now, I'm busy!"

The call was hastily hung up.

Qin Luo shook his head helplessly, knowing he would have to eat lunch alone.

Situ Rui's efficiency was astonishing. The phone rang around 3 p.m.

"Boss, I found it. 8 PM tonight, BT Nightclub, let's talk when we meet."

At exactly 8 p.m., Qin Luo appeared at the entrance of the BT Nightclub.

Deafening music and psychedelic lights assaulted our senses.

Guided by the waiter, he quickly found a relatively quiet booth in the corner.

Situ Rui and Sha Qiang have arrived.

A stylishly dressed young girl with heavy makeup was sitting next to Sha Qiang, nestled in his arms and playing on her phone.

Beside Situ Rui sat a woman with a completely different demeanor.

The woman looked to be in her early thirties. She was very well-maintained, with delicate skin and refined features that exuded a mature charm.

She wore a well-tailored burgundy high-slit cheongsam that perfectly accentuated her voluptuous yet toned figure.

At the slit, as she crossed her legs, a section of her round, snow-white thigh, clad in black stockings, was faintly visible, exuding a silent allure.

She leaned back lazily against the booth sofa, holding a cocktail in her hand, her eyes carrying a calm indifference and a subtle scrutiny as she looked at Qin Luo who was walking towards her.

Qin Luo's gaze lingered on her for a moment.

This woman... is extraordinary. Not the kind of superficial gaudiness, but rather an inner depth that exudes a seasoned maturity and a subtle, almost imperceptible aura of danger.

But Qin Luo couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

"Boss! This way!"

When Sha Qiang saw Qin Luo, he immediately grinned and waved.

His girlfriend next to him also looked up and curiously glanced at Qin Luo.

"Boss."

Situ Rui also stood up, made room for Qin Luo, and then introduced them.

"Qiangzi brought his girlfriend, Xiaomei. This is Li Qing, Sister Qing."

"Sister Qing."

Qin Luo nodded slightly to Li Qing as a greeting.

Li Qing returned a perfectly timed smile, her gaze lingering on Qin Luo for a couple more seconds.

Sha Qiang and Xiao Mei are typical crayfish lovers. Not long after they sat down, Sha Qiang started clamoring to order takeout.

Situ Rui was clearly familiar with the nightclub owner. After exchanging greetings, two large bowls of fragrant, bright red crayfish were delivered by a deliveryman wearing a Meituan uniform.

This is considered a privilege in nightclubs where outside food is usually prohibited.

Sha Qiang and Xiao Mei immediately put on their gloves and began to feast.

Li Qing then got up and went to the song selection booth to choose a song.

Qin Luo noticed that when the deliveryman handed over the two heavy basins of crayfish, Li Qing naturally reached out and took them, placing them steadily on the table without even a noticeable tremor in her arm.

Those two large bowls, plus the soup, were definitely not light! This woman…is quite strong? A thought flashed through Qin Luo's mind, but he quickly dismissed it; perhaps she just works out regularly. Situ Rui handed Qin Luo a cigarette and lit one for himself.

Qin Luo took a sip and got straight to the point.

"Ruizi, what's the situation with Wei Junwu?"

Situ Rui exhaled a smoke ring, his expression somewhat grave.

"Boss, this guy is as slippery as an eel! We found out that he took the last late-night flight last night and has already flown out of the country. His destination is Southeast Asia."

"Southeast Asia?"

Qin Luo frowned slightly; the area was too large.

In a foreign country, it is extremely difficult to accurately locate a person.

"Yes, Southeast Asia."

Situ Rui nodded, then lowered his voice and his eyes sharpened.

"Boss, do you remember what I said before? The truly terrifying person in the Wei family is Wei Junwu, not that good-for-nothing younger brother Wei Junshu. On the surface, the Wei family is Tiancheng Entertainment, but in reality, Wei Junwu also controls a sizable underground bank! This bank mainly launders money for criminals involved in telecom fraud, kidnapping, and extortion in northern Myanmar! It's his core business and lifeline!"

Northern Myanmar?!
Upon hearing those two words, Qin Luo's tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and a meaningful smile even appeared on his lips.

"Northern Myanmar...hehe, interesting."

Inside the booths, the deafening music was slightly muted out.

Looking at the meaningful smile on Qin Luo's lips, Situ Rui was not at ease. Instead, he frowned, leaned closer, lowered his voice, and spoke with an unusual seriousness.

"Boss! Take my advice, the waters in northern Myanmar are too murky and treacherous! The fact that Wei Junwu managed to get there means he has connections there! He's been running an underground bank for years, laundering money for those desperate criminals in northern Myanmar involved in telecom fraud, kidnapping, and drug trafficking. He holds their lives in his hands and knows a lot of ruthless people who live on the edge! Those people will do anything for money! Wei Junwu is a stray dog ​​now, but he still has money and connections! He's fully capable of throwing money around and hiring those desperate criminals as hitmen! We're in the open, he's in the shadows, it's impossible to guard against him! It's not worth putting yourself in danger for such a mad dog!"

Situ Rui's words were all reasonable and full of concern for Qin Luo's safety.

He knew Qin Luo was a skilled fighter, but while it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, it's hard to guard against a hidden arrow, especially when facing those unscrupulous professional assassins.

Qin Luo felt his brother's concern. He patted Situ Rui on the shoulder, his eyes calm yet filled with an unshakable confidence.

“Rui Zi, I understand your concerns. However…” He paused, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips.

"My life isn't so easy to take away. Have you forgotten my 'God of War Physique'? As long as I don't want to die, even the King of Hell will have to think twice."

That powerful self-confidence that came from the bottom of his being made Situ Rui open his mouth, but in the end he swallowed back the words of persuasion.

He knew that once Qin Luo made up his mind, nothing could change it.

The drinking party continues.

Sha Qiang and Xiao Mei were engrossed in their own world and crayfish.

After Li Qing returned from requesting songs, she joined the drinking party. Soon, Situ Rui learned what it meant to "not judge a book by its cover."

Li Qing appears gentle and mature, but when she picks up a glass of wine, she's surprisingly hearty! Red wine, beer, foreign wine—she accepts them all without batting an eye! Sha Qiang, who prides himself on his good drinking capacity, brought his girlfriend to "toast Sister Qing," but after a few rounds, Sha Qiang's tongue was slurred, and his girlfriend was practically slumped over the table.

On the contrary, Li Qing's eyes remained clear, and she even looked at them with a slightly mocking smile.

"Sister Qing... you have such a huge capacity!"

Sha Qiang, his tongue agape, was utterly impressed.

Qin Luo also became interested. He had a special constitution, metabolized alcohol very quickly, and had a much higher alcohol tolerance than ordinary people.

The two toasted each other, and Situ Rui's eyelids began to droop.

In the end, Situ Rui was the first to give in. His head lolled to the side, and he collapsed drunk on the booth sofa, unconscious.

Sha Qiang and his girlfriend were also quite drunk. They supported each other and staggered away first.

“Rui Zi is so drunk, I’ll take him home.”

Li Qing put down her wine glass and naturally went to help Situ Rui.

"No need to trouble Sister Qing."

Qin Luo, however, acted first, hoisting the completely drunk Situ Rui onto his shoulder with ease, as if he were carrying a sack of cotton.

“He lives not far from where I live, so I can just take him back on my way.”

Qin Luo looked at Li Qing with a subtle, scrutinizing gaze.

This woman has an absurdly high alcohol tolerance, and the strength she displays when catching crayfish is also extraordinary. There's always an inexplicable feeling about her that makes him instinctively feel uneasy about entrusting Situ Rui to her.

Li Qing's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, her smile stiffening slightly before returning to normal.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to Mr. Qin."

She watched Qin Luo carry Situ Rui away from the nightclub, her eyes flickering, her face somewhat gloomy in the dim light, lost in thought.

Qin Luo didn't return to Yipin International, but instead carried Situ Rui to Liu Piaopiao's house in Xueyuan Community, which was nearby.

After tossing Situ Rui onto the bed in the guest room and covering him with a blanket, Qin Luo was too lazy to make any more moves and spent the night on the sofa in the living room.

The next morning, Situ Rui was awakened by the sunlight streaming through the window, and his head was throbbing with pain.

He sat up, rubbing his temples, and looked around the unfamiliar room blankly.

"Damn...where am I?"

Just then, Qin Luo's voice came from the living room as he made a phone call.

"...Yes, Brother Tiger, it's me, Qin Luo. Here's the situation: Wei Junwu has gone to northern Myanmar, his target is probably your brother Tianbao's territory... Yes, help me contact Tianbao and keep a close eye on him... Money is no problem... Okay, waiting for your news!"

Situ Rui walked out of the room and saw Qin Luo just hang up the phone.

"Boss? Last night... was this Sister Piao Piao's house?"

Situ Rui looked around.

"Yeah, I carried you back. Piaopiao is away on a business trip."

Qin Luo poured him a glass of water.

"Hehe, boss, you didn't do anything too outrageous to me last night, did you?"

Situ Rui took the water and grinned mischievously.

Qin Luo rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

"I'm not interested in men. But you should stay away from that Li Qing."

"Huh? Sister Qing?"

Situ Rui was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

"Sister Qing is great, mature and charming, and knows how to be romantic..."

"She's not that simple."

Qin Luo interrupted him, her tone serious.

"Her alcohol tolerance, her strength, and even the smell on her... nothing's right. Take my advice, don't mess with her."

Although Situ Rui was somewhat reluctant to part with Li Qing, he always took Qin Luo's words seriously, and Li Qing's behavior last night was indeed a bit strange.

He nodded. (End of Chapter)
